"I would love to thank Bayfront roofing for doing such a great job on my roof. Scott the owner came to our house to give estimate and show us different products we can go with for our roof replacement. We decided to go with the Tilcor stone coated steel product with ice & water shield underlayment. They did an awesome job with the install. Ashley and Samantha at the office were also wonderful with answering our questions and keeping us informed throughout the process. This was a big project so naturally we were anxious and John and Scott were very helpful if we had any worries or questions which made us feel better with their knowledge and fast response. I would definitely recommend Bayfront roofing for your roofing needs and will keep them in mind when we need to replace a roof with our rental property."

Lone Star Home Improvement Company. is family owned and operated with 40 years of experience. We provide any interior and exterior housing needs. If you can think it, we can build it. We strive to satisfy our customers' needs.

"If I could give 4 stars I would. The gentleman bid 350 ft of fence where the posts and fencing wire was already supplied. Only thing he has the purchase was 24 T posts, fasteners, gates and concrete. Total cost averaged 1500 in materials with a tractor rental. He charged internally 7500. My disabled mom agreed and signed the contract unbeknownst to us. Upon inspection from my son in law the posts were not put in the ground properly and we're loose, partly from not tamping, and part from not going past 2ft in the ground on 6ft out. He took materials we paid for, and got a refund. We've yet to see the $$ for. He pays his employees like a third-world country as well. We were also advised that he is not coming back to the jobsite. He has been paid $5000 already."

"Completely wasted my money hiring this guy. He has 75% of my money and I have less than 40% of my fence built. Worked 3 days first week, 3 days second week then took off. No work in over a week and stopped communicating 4 days ago. He damaged my skid steer I let him use so he wouldn't have to rent one so I now have a repair bill on top of unfinished work. No clue why this guy says he builds fences. "

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. 

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a termite infestation. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.

The main cause of a rotting porch post is prolonged exposure to moisture. So, the best way to prevent rot is to eliminate and guard against moisture.

  • Use wood caulk to seal any cracks, openings, or areas along the post where water is likely to pool.

  • Secure porch posts into concrete, if possible.

  • Cover wooden posts with protective sleeves or wraps, often made of vinyl.

  • Install metal post anchors for extra support.
